Taster at taproom. Clear golden, skimpy head. Aroma is bready malts with faint fruity notes. Taste is whisper soft crackers, mild sweetness and a trailing crisp bitter finish. Light and refreshing.

Stole a single can from my friend's Airbnb fridge. My first brew reviewed from these guys, gut have had several beers from them before. Canned on date of 5/2020. Decent, not great, but also 10-months old.

This is a solid summer session ale. The appearance is a mostly clear, yellowish color with plenty of head upon aggressive pour, which sticks around for a while. Citrusy burst in aroma popped on the aggressive sky pour. Lots of Citra, piney flavors but it all comes off very clean. Light end that has enough dryness to make it even more crushable (4.3% abv).

Picked up some at the brewery this week. One of my all-time favorite summer beers. Crisp and refreshing, just the right amount of bite, - and reasonably low ABV - to make this a great summer beer.

Light, lemon amber coloured with a nice sized, fluffy white head. It's a light nose but citrus & floral notes show early, some grassy hops & the odd herbal touch then follow. The taste is similar but a little more bitter with lemon & citrus kicking things off, some grassy hops & lighter malts following on top of a crisp, dry body that was fairly light & clean but well carbonated; a nice beer but definitely a little light.
